The 3.5 million nps seems like a pipe dream to me.  Running 8 x 900 mhz cpu
machine gives 7200 max.  That's only about 5 times faster than my 1400 Mhz
Thunderbird.  I don't have DF7 but my F7 runs typically 500K-750K.  They would
have to be getting almost 100% efficiency out of the 8 cpus to hit 3.5M/nps.  Is
that possible??
